It would make sense that families who utilize different school systems choose to take on different schedules, but families who have no choice because of where they live, and MCPS has just decided to switch their school over to a new schedule? Not fair.

Having said that, I am 100% on board with year-round school. An extended summer break does not make any sense because it does lead to learning loss, and families aren't tied to harvest times in this century. Additionally, because of climate change, summer is a mosquito-filled scorcher anyway and a lot of kids who cannot travel just end up staying inside in the A/C, on screens. It would make SO MUCH MORE SENSE to have equal breaks every quarter. Workplaces would be better off (no long summer where parents need more flexibility), those who can afford to travel can travel at every season because every break is at least 2 weeks, and those who cannot travel can let their kids play outside at non-scorching periods of the year.

I understand trade and tourism industries in the western hemisphere are still under the impression that tourism would be hurt if summer vacation was shorter, but what they're not understanding is that global warming makes other seasons a lot more attractive for tourism right now!

+1. I would love to see MCPS move to a different schedule, specifically one that starts earlier and includes an earlier break in the Spring semesters even if just a 4-5 day break including weekends.

Roscoe Nix ES parents are not complainers. They are saddled with an impossible situation and want relief.

And it's not just the parents complaining. Staff have complained about it to the BOE.

It's time for MCPS to kill the innovative school year as yet another theoretical fantasy that is infeasible due to practical realities.

Do not read it. It is for people that care about public schools.

Roscoe Nix parents and teachers have already made their positions known to the BOE and MCPS. If you do not want to read their words, then don’t.

It is for people who care about criticizing every thing that MCPS does, doesn't do, says, or doesn't say.

Just say you hate MCPS parents and teachers. Make it clear that parents and teachers are not allowed to be involved in their child's school or their place of employment and aren't allowed to have a thought. Trump hasn't been re-elected yet, but when he is you will be in your glory shutting out democracy and silencing parents and teachers.

This thread is about hundreds of parents and teachers who are speaking out about an MCPS "pilot".

The "Montgomery County Parents Coalition"^^^

Is that what you call hundreds of parents and teachers? That's a good title for their advocacy.

"Montgomery County Parents Coalition" is what one person in Potomac, who hasn't been an MCPS parent in many years, calls themself.

I genuinely think this person may very well have a mental illness. Her hobby is this advocacy that she thinks is representative of parents but she is really just delusional.

Why do you hate the Roscoe Nix teachers?

This was in reference to the lady that runs the MC Parents Coalition blog

I understand trade and tourism industries in the western hemisphere are still under the impression that tourism would be hurt if summer vacation was shorter, but what they're not understanding is that global warming makes other seasons a lot more attractive for tourism right now!

No. This is similar to the language immersion programs, which I think is a mistake on MCPS's part.

We know people at a TWI school and they have an alternative option. They don't advertise it, so you need to ask. I'll bet you it's the same with the innovative school calendars.
